Zeiders, Michael

'84 MBA

Founder and President, Zeiders Enterprises Inc.; Founder and President, Quality of Life Foundation

Zeiders has been dedicated to education, entrepreneurship, and the U.S. military since his time at the U.S. Naval Academy. He combined all three of his passions in to one when he founded Zeiders Enterprises in 1983, which provides a broad range of quality of life support programs to government agencies including the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Army, and Department of Labor. Zeiders currently employs 700 professionals who have over 1 million counseling and training contacts with military service and family members located at over 40 military installations.

Since Mason allowed him to continue his career and devote time for his family, Zeiders says, “[Mason] was the ideal place for me to go.”

Zeiders, along with his wife Charlotte, has also founded the Quality of Life Foundation that honors and serves the families of severely injured combat service members by helping them face their life-changing challenges and teaching them skills for rebuilding in spite of those life struggles.
